Roof marker light bulb replacement

I need to change a bulb in one of my roof marker lights. I have looked in Haynes manual and no mention. Do I take off the headliner and change from inside the truck, or do I remove the light lens on outside of the truck. I looked on the outside and tried to remove it, but it was on very tight. Any help would be appreciated.

I doubt there is any other way to replace a bulb,
but to remove the lens
Is it a factory light ? What year truck ?

It is an 86 F250 4x4. Yes, factory lights. I tried to remove
the lens assembly, but it is on tight. I didn't want to break
the seal and cause a leak and then find out that it is odd and
needed to be changed from within. Granted, that seems odd, but
I have learned through the years that just because I think
something is odd, doesn't mean that the designers felt the same way. Thanks for any info.

I'll see if I can find a truck here and take look
for myself before send any advise.

I'll be back right after the commercial

The end result I've found out is.

You have to get at from the inside.
Sorry, Good Luck !

Sorry for the long delay in replying. Thanks for the information. It will save me a lot of time and heartache. It would have been a pain to pull the light off the roof and caused a leak. Your help is greatly appreciated.

You gotta pull the light off the roof and change it. No need to take the headliner off. should be 2 screws that attach it to the roof.
